Cream cloth with gilt; top edge gilded, others untrimmed. Light handling to cloth, and foxing to spine. Interior clean and free of inscriptions; tanning to free endpapers. Number 481 of 750 issued, signed by Detmold. 25 gorgeous plates. The original slipcase is sturdy and complete without splitting: long ago covered in patterned book-covering paper (similar to thin wallpaper) that appears to be stuck to the slipcase only along fore-edges.

Store description

Since 1977 The Odd Book has bought and sold interesting books and ephemera... and some apparently not that interesting. We're a member of the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of Canada, and thereby affiliated with the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. At the store in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, and online since '98, Jim Tillotson (founder) and Jim Gow (proprietor) combine their years of experience and occasional stupidity to provide a pretty good place to browse. Thanks for stopping by, and don't hesitate to be in touch.
